Anyone else able to “read words” aloud mechanically until you start to think about it? I’ve had a little bit of luck when reading aloud in just bypassing my mind entirely and going words->mouth without thinking about meaning. The issue is when I start to think about it, prep for what’s ahead, or repeat the sentence. I get tripped up and frozen on words at that point. Anyone else have this experience?
